Forecast for 2021-03-23

River conditions forecasts posted on 2021-03-23 by Ottawa River Regulating Committee

Principal reservoirs throughout the basin are ready to store spring runoff. With ongoing warm weather and forecast precipitation over the next few days, water levels and flows on the main stem of the Ottawa River are expected to begin to increase and should remain close to seasonal values over the next few days. Some run-of-river facilities are beginning to lower their upstream water levels, which may cause a temporary drop in levels locally.
